E801-15 is currently going through St. Joseph.

P370-14 is currently going through Coloma. Sounds like IDTX 4615 leading.

Q32915 by Howell at 07:04. Early today. CSX 5369 single unit (for the 4th day in a row) with 37 cars. Q329 met Q32815 at Fowlerville who in addition to be a road train is being a local as well seeing D708 hasn't left Lansing since last week. After working Webberville, they have been in Howell for well over an hour doing an Ann Pere set off for GLC. Arriving at 07:45, they left their train west of Howell as they apparently have a long enough train to block crossings if they came into town to do the work. Should be leaving Howell before 09:30. CSXT 4001+7920 on the head end off of yesterdays Q326.

CSX remembered that GR crews aren't qualified to Bensenville anymore, and there were apparently no pilots or relief crews available, so Chicago told them to annul the train.

The train couldnt leave grand rapids without 2 engines. So they had a west olive crew bring over power before it could leave
